Hi… I have a problem with this. It is a very small bug, but i thought you might know. I installed android 2.3.4 on my Samsung galaxy mini GT-S5570L and the operating system is fine, but every 25 to 35 seconds (sometimes 5 minutes or so) the screen flashes (switch from on to off and then on)… what should I do? any ideas?

PLEASE HELP THIS IS REALLY ANOYYING ME COSE WHENEVER I DOWNLOAD THE FILE REQUIRED IT COMES UP WITH SOME 7-ZIP THING I INSTALL THAT BUT I STILL CANT OPEN THE REQUIRED FILES PLEASE HELP 2.3.3 WAS EASY TO DO SO PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

once you extract the file name( read carefully)
S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK.rar
then it goes as
S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK.tar
there is difference between “rar” and “tar” OK
then click one package. and select “tar” file
then you will show yellow screen appearing on your Odin box

this link is ok. i tried it. but read carefully on the site there is written you only download one file per 30 minutes. i think you download twice. download again. if any problem cause again i will help you

hey master, when im extracting the rar file, iy asked me if i want to open the file, then i cancel, then this message showed, “Extracting S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPKS5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME.tar Blocked by Windows

Actually i have already gingerbread 2.3.4 downloaded earlier and running smooth but my version is android 2.3.4 gingerbread “XXKPI” my question is what is the difference of XXKPI to XXKPK. Second question is how to flash kernel for overclocking? My third question, with this version why the message skin gone?

Im done flashing and clearing cache.. Nothing is change except the version “XXKPI” to “XXKPK”
all my apps are still there and KIES said that S/W version in your phone in not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported. Just like on my previous “XXKPI” version.

hi, i’m wondering if i installed it correctly because almost nothing has changed like the themes (not gray icons) and my apps and files and everything on my phone even my messages has not been changed (Upgrading will delete all phone memory so backup all your data like contacts,call log, messages and calendar.) but everything is there. Is that normal or what? Thanks..

Help me please…
I’m in ThaiLand, I’ve got the same problem as “Musi040781″
I’ve tried for 2 times and it came out the same
the Odin stuck me up, I wait till about 45 minutes before decided to pull out the usb cable and retried. It’s the same, the progress bar only move from left edge just as a thin vertical line. the message show :

dude my 2.3 galaxy mini new market says connection timed out on 2g and working on wifi but i want to use 2g so how can i reinstall 2.2 firmware , tried to install but i brick my phone ,? but now it is unbrick so tell how to downgrage to 2.2

you have to check up you APN parameters : it may be wrong setting : do this =>
menu->settings->WireLess and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
from this point : contact your service provider request for how to set up the APN parameters according to your signal type

the compressed download file must be exploded by 7-zip ONLY…!
formerly, i exploded it by winrar : that’s the main cause : the uncompress file are not 100% usable. it worked well immediately once uncompressed by 7Zip….!!!!

this is the best guide i ever find about android. because before i use this site i was following other site and i almost lose my phone by using wrong information.thanks a lot for this nice and useful guide. saimon

I did everything right and when I click start it says downloading mibib, and then the timer just keeps going and going, never stops. I close the program and try booting the phone, samsung galaxy mioni logo appears for 2 seconds then It shows me a picture of phone and a computer with ‘!’ put between them. Did I just screw up my phone and If i did, what can i do to fix it quickly?

Hi i just updated my phone to gingerbread and i was wondering why i can’t change my message skins anymore. The “Message Skins” option in the Message Settings is gone. Is this part of the update or is there something wrong?

hi all, after i flashed android gingerbread to galaxy mini the menu button i have on my phone is not working at all, does anyone have a solution for this matter as its a big problem for me,
many thanks,

Can I upgrade my galaxy mini gt-s5570 right now. I have the TASS_v1 file, the firmware file S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME (Extracted) and Odin Multi Downloader 4.38. But I have one issue. At Odin Multi Downloader it’s not the same like in that picture above Odin Multi Downloader (GT-S 5570) but Odin Multi Downloader (Android). Is there any problem with that??

Hi Kuldeep, nice comments I found about you here :). Is GingerBread 2.3.6 available on Galaxy Pop?
I am trying to upgrade from Froyo to GB 2.3.6 using ODIN 4.3, TASS_v0.1.ops, package as GT-S5570_FWD_S5570JVKT1_S5570OJVKT1_S5570XWKT2_S5570JVKT1. However, when I start the upgrade, it seems to get stuck at ODIN and for 30 odd minutes nothing is happening. Can I remove my phone now, without the possibility of getting it bricked?

Tried returning to download mode by key combination at battery reinsert, tried recovery mode, tried (V- + V+ + Home) key combination as well. At most, it comes to a gray screen, does not go any further. Odin can still identify the COM port, however, gets a time-out while trying to setup communication.

I tried with One-Click too, while unbricking, it is obviuosly not identifying phone.

Hi Kuldeep, I tried with this method too. However, phone was not getting into the download or recovery mode anymore. After a day with it, I had to submit it to the service center and they had to change the motherboard of the device, as it went dead :-). I am not sure how it might have happened. Any ideas?

I am soon going to try it again, along with rooting. This time my focus will be on not killing the motherboard, if I know how not to; and trying out Android ICS.
